Family comes first. That's how Joe Kapp was raised, and those are the strongest memories that still remain for the former quarterback, even as the details of some of his impressive personal accomplishments on the football field fade from recollection.

Kapp is the only quarterback to have the distinction of playing in the Rose Bowl, Grey Cup and Super Bowl.Yet the sport he dearly loved appears to have extracted a high price. Kapp, 79, now copes with the effects of Alzheimer's disease.

You also helped change the NFL and player contracts when you sued the league in 1971. What do you think of player compensation now?

Kapp: I read they're going to pay a player $50 million? I got four tacos and an enchilada.
